fantastic stay in a historic mansion!

historical blend attentive staff quiet location
I really enjoyed the blend of history and modern amenities. the staff was so attentive. I felt very cared for . the location was wonderfully quiet despite its central location, a real escape from the city bustle. i loved that i could easily relax within the hotel grounds.
the room service menu felt a bit limited, with not as many choices as i hoped for (but it wasn't a big deal).
Service

The complementary guided tour offered INVALUABLE insight into the mansion's history. The breakfast room offered a unique atmosphere, it added to the overall experience. The in-house jacuzzi provided a convenient way to relax. I found the cocktails at the hotel bar AMAZING, especially the caipirinha.

underwhelming stay

the location was acceptable.
My assigned room was near a noisy street. Traffic sounds were constant. the minibar was not restocked daily, i had to ask several times. additionally, the bathroom lacked basic toiletries, like a shaving kit, and the shower pressure was inconsistent.
